Lack of credibility
A lot of the claims at this article are simply repeating reports of Russian state media at face value without informing the reader that they're coming from a source known for embellishment or outright falsehood.

″Russian state media outlet TASS reported that [... claim about the ratnik system]″

instead of just:
